Pretty easy, overall.

Course Overview:

Dr. Nartker is very reasonable. If you go to every class and participate, he is very understanding if something happens and you have to miss class. He likes when you think for yourself. If you figure out a different, reliable way to solve the problem, he'll respect you more. Make sure you pay attention to the last class before an exam because he'll tell you almost all of the topics on the exam. Also, take advantage of the 8 1/2'' by 11'' sheet that he allows you on exams!

Course highlights:

The course is fairly easy because it's dealing with physical systems that you can think through with common sense and simple math. Dr. Nartker also tells you how to think through the problem by having the class give him numbers with units and a process, and he thinks through it out loud on the spot.

Hours per week:

3-5 hours

Advice for students:

He has his way of teaching balances, but since I know conversions like the back of my hand, I was able to do most of the class with just conversions (and quicker than his way). Use what makes sense to you, so you can think through the problem instead of blindly following notes for a method that you can't think your way through. Also, take advantage of the 8 1/2'' by 11'' sheet that he allows you on exams!
